Seeing as though I enjoyed writing up this post so much last year, I had to come back with a 2017 edition of my picks of the Beauty Advent Calendars on offer this Christmas. When I say Christmas and I’m typing this in November, it may seem a little bit premature. But shockingly, the majority of the best calendars out there are already sold out. So I’m making sure this post isn’t a waste of a read by including the ones that you can still get your hands on.

It’s getting chillier and nearer to my favourite time of the year; the season of layering! I’ve collated a few autumnal looks that I’d love to be sporting this year, from blazers and gilets, to jackets and coats. The links to my picks are below…

If you read my GHD Hair Dryer review last year (feel free to have a refresher) then you’ll know my hair history; I’ve been growing it since I had the ‘lob’ a couple of years ago and I’m currently fairly happy with the length. For me, that’s a big thing; hair extensions were my comfort blanket for 11 years, and now I actually prefer not to wear them.

I think I’m beginning to get a little bit addicted to this twist on the monthly wishlist! I feel it’s just as important to keep your home looking fresh as it is your wardrobe. I’ve been thinking of a few minor touches as the weather gets a little warmer and we see some more sun.

If you read my last post you’ll know that I spent my birthday in Amsterdam, so I started my celebrations early and received some very lovely presents that included a few beauty products. Going away gave me the perfect chance to try some of them out, and some of which I still can’t get enough of.
